As ever, TW simply cannot help herself as she continues claim she isn’t playing the ‘prove it game’ which really is the ‘brag about my perceived lifestyle and status game’ played out on social media with a slew of staged and boastful videos and ‘holiday snaps’. As ever, they feature the ginger puppet, faceless props, and various Diana outfits and AI re-enactments of Diana’s various poses caught on camera.

One must begin to pity the faceless meal tickets, because it’s normal for a child to pose for holiday photos by looking at the camera and to wave and smile at whoever is taking the photos on holiday. Imagine being told not to turn around and not to talk for social media content, and it looks as if TW brushed the child’s hair before filming the meal ticket prop. The photos were simply clickbait, and a money spinner where even Harold is posing for, and filming content for social media for public consumption. That’s monetising the title and status at it’s sneakiest because while we can never be sure if the account is monetised, but the chances are that it is with the amount of ridiculous posts featuring TW filming herself touching a flower, a piece of fruit, or flashing her new teeth at no one as she laughs at herself. One would only do that for clicks, and only bother if the clicks made money, and that’s what she did in the Tig days.

Monetising the meal ticket props though, is that ethical or moral? Lots of parents stick their children on social media for clicks, but just because some choose to do so doesn’t make it ethically right. The girl can take instruction (and appears to be finally toilet trained without having pull up pants during the day), while the boy is at the other end of the spectrum, and doesn’t provide good social media content. The best he could do was sit in a pilot’s chair of an aircraft to ‘prove’ they flew private. I wonder if Uncle Elton hosted them in the South of France during their European vacation, given than the first time round it ended up with Harold meeting Sherborne, and resulting in Harold and the fellowship about to cough up a couple of million each in fees and costs?

EJ has a poor record for taking in ‘traitor type’ offspring, having hosted Beckham’s estranged son and wife this summer. Perhaps he thinks he’s trying to help and to act as an olive branch? Perhaps he should stick to playing the piano instead? A friend once told me that people will judge you by the friends or people you choose to have around you, even in a work capacity, even if you are trying to help a difficult person out (as it was in my case). If you choose poorly then you will be judged by their behaviour and morals. You always have a choice, hence why the Beckhams, and Clooneys have distanced themselves from the Harkles. How many others have quietly done the same since the wedding or over the top baby shower in NYC? How many of those guests are still defending the Harkles?

Charles Spencer didn’t discredit the Althorp images, so what does this prove? That TW and the faceless children can visit the UK in safety (even with the date and location of where they would be being announced), and do not need public funded security, therefore, RAVEC’s decision was correct. I do hope that the government seeks reimbursement of public funds that Harold had wasted in forcing the judicial review and appeals as they stated they would. The visit to the UK, that was announced in the press by themselves via a press release (2 weeks prior) simply proves that his judicial review challenge had no basis and was a waste of court resources and a drain on public funds.

Back to Althorp, while it was stated TW was banned from taking photos at Highgrove House, and perhaps Spencer said no to photos at Diana’s grave, that meant TW could still post photos of other parts of Althorp. Naturally, the whole thing is distasteful, and it’s clear that footage has been filmed for the Netflix documentary, and Spencer can’t do anything about it. What does it prove? That Harold ended up with the dregs of the dregs– someone who has no manners, no sense of decorum or dignity, and who is repugnant, obnoxious, selfish, and brackish. Take the photos by all means, but to use a child for clicks, and to use the photos to brag about access to Diana’s grave is simply repulsive and is in bad taste. It also proves that Charles Spencer has no control over his nephew or his nephew’s wife, and casts doubts as to whether he still wishes to protect his dead sister?

Further images and claims suggest that the Harkles then sped off to Scotland (Ian Wace’s island) after staying at Althorp for the night. Again, all that proves is that there are no security concerns as Harold alleged if they can travel from Northamptonshire to Scotland without any issues. No one (bar Liam’s groupies) even cared where they were, what they did, or when they left. It does appear that some media outlets are being paid to run positive propaganda stories on the Harkles, and the Daily Mirror seems to be on the payroll pushing the Harkle agenda.

All the other papers ran stories on the wildfires that are sweeping across the world, and the migrant situation in Spain and the threats to Schengen, the Mirror opted to write a non-story (that had no relevance) on Harold wanting C3 to stand next to him at the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 11 months time. Seriously, it is the most obvious biased and stupid front page in a long time, and looks like a paid for advertisement. Ironically, isn’t this what Thomas Markle asked for, for a photo of him with the TW and Harold in order to reconcile?

What the visit to the UK did prove is that TW and Harold are unpopular. Harold might appear popular in vetted and staged events, but out on the street without paid for crowds, paparazzi that need a photo, or Liam’s groupies, I think even Keir Starmer would get a better reception. Okay, perhaps it would be about the same…

No one wants them back, no one needs them either, but they need the royal status to make money. Harold will continue to milk the Invictus Games, WellChild, and Scotty’s Little Soldiers for PR and expenses until another scandal closes them down or forces them to part company with their patron (see Sentebale).

They did cough up for tickets for David Foster’s Foundation 40th anniversary event in Victoria, B.C. (Canada) and probably did a spot of networking looking for sponsors and donors. But why does the paid for media keep insisting that they are on a date night or a parent’s night off whenever they go out, making out they are the only parents in the world, and that they work so hard at parenting that they need a break? Yes, that’s TW directing Foster at his own event, and The Claw can’t help itself by walking in front of Katharine Foster… Yes, it’s bad manners and rude to walk in front of someone especially when it is the host, but was the appearance a bid to ‘prove’ that they have royal status at events?

The meal ticket props are part of the ‘work’ because the only regular income stream seems to be coming from social media clickbait. The As ever ‘shop’ has stalled as the cult can only buy so much stock, and the Godmothers bookstore seems to have reduced their stock to a handful of items. The speaking gigs seemed to have dried up, and they have to pay to speak at events such as a screening of Cookie Queens (a reality documentary that they ‘purchased’ as executive producers after the project had been completed).

They are monetising images of the faceless children, claiming they are protecting their privacy. If they were truly doing that, then they wouldn’t post any images of them, faceless or not. However, that is part of the ‘prove it game’, to try and prove that they exist, but that doesn’t mean they were born of body and are legitimately entitled to titles or to be in the line of succession. How has TW managed to keep quiet about the HIghgrove House visit? Apparently she was overheard discussing it at the Lotusland Garden Gala event on 18 July 2026, where Martha Stewart mentioned it, resulting in TW responding that Stewart misheard and implied that she was a confused older woman! Perhaps the deal was to stay silent and C3 would pay for school fees for the props? I mean, it’s not a good look if you can’t afford to send the children back to their private schools.

The decision on the costs of the ANL case will be handed down next week, and the only other person to make any public statements or remarks was Simon Hughes, and he tried to distance himself from the other Claimants on 30 July 2026. Through his lawyer, he made several remarks. Clearly, he is trying to salvage what reputation he has left by disassociating himself from the others and their apparent motives for pursuing the case.

“He wishes to make it clear he was not a campaigner against Associated,”

“It was not part of his case or plan to target ANL, its people or its papers.”

“He is not a celebrity and was at the time a responsible senior MP and minister of state.”

The entire case appeared to be a fishing expedition where the Claimants had dodgy out of date and fake bait, and they didn’t get the fish. I’m quite surprised no one else has made a public statement because the decision was quite clear—none of the claims were proven because there was no actual evidence. Perhaps they were advised to remain silent to avoid irritating Justice Nicklin any further, as it’s obvious Harold and Lawrence’s joint statement accusing him of being biased and subtly suggesting he was corrupt probably has not gone in their favour. Even the snake oil salesman, Sherborne uncharacteristically kept shtum, and later indicated that he was not supportive of Harold and Lawrence’s statement, thus stating that he was not involved in it, probably to save his own skin.

My own thoughts are that they all took a gamble based on the fact that Harold was involved (and that they might get preferential treatment as we have seen in the past with TW’s ANL case), and that EJ is a multimillionaire and had the finances to back the case. Other have called them ‘greedy grifters’ because all the alleged claims involved stories written more than 20 years ago, and quite frankly, no one really knows who they are now or what they even do these days (or even care).

It may have looked like some quick easy money for digging up an old victim status, but they will have to pay their own costs, and who knows if their Temple Legal Protection ( £16.2 million made up of individual limits of indemnity of £2.7million across six policies) will pay up, leaving a shortfall of an estimated $18 million. The insurance could be voided in some instances if there was no chance of winning (time barred or if they knew forged evidence was being used), either way, there are grounds for the claim to be queried according to information in the public domain. That’s a matter for the insurance company to decide, but if they do pay, it means that should a similar claim be made in the future, then it could open up the floodgates.

What else has TW been eager and desperate to ‘prove’? That she is still close friends with the Fosters? That she has access to Diana’s grave? The latest pack of faux pals wished her Happy Birthday, yet none of them were at her wedding, and then her own birthday video of her dancing in the kitchen wearing a fake tiara was supposed to prove what? That Harold is a puppet and we’re supposed to believe he knocked up a plate of bagels with smoked salmon for her birthday breakfast in the staged video? The whole Cookie Queen promotion week, with TW attending screenings and Q&A with the people who made the film, was just more PR.

While observers still discuss the Harkles returning to the UK to represent the Crown, that appears to be more wishful thinking and propaganda. They are highly unpopular, and each time C3 appears to concede to them, his popularity dips and more royal supporters choose to stop their support of C3 and the Monarchy. Bit by bit, C3 either ignorantly or unknowingly, by his choice of actions weakens the Monarchy as a whole, as well as the reputation of his reign.

Harold and TW have few friends and allies in the UK, and those who do choose to openly support them are essentially sending out a message that they oppose the Monarchy. The Invictus Games gets a pass because it involves veterans, and WellChild involves sick children, so a pass is given to them too, but only in the barest form as both entities come under huge criticism for supporting Harold. While he retains the ducal title he still has some status, but once it has gone (like Uncle Andrew), any remaining charities will distance themselves. The Sentebale case (Case KB-2026-001148, Media and Communication - Part 7 Claim - Defamation - libel and slander) remains open.
